I have been considering buying a special yogurt maker to be able to do so. From the manufacturers web site this: Casei Bifidus Acidophilus yogurt starter " With this yogurt starter, you can make home-made yogurt that has three types of dairy cultures, well recognized for their health benefits, in addition of the regular yogurt cultures. However, this starter must be used only with the Yogourmet Multi yogurt maker (or our earlier model, the Yogourmet II yogurt maker). CBA yogurt starter requires an incubation period of 12 to 15 hours, during which time the temperature must be increased gradually from 23°C to 44°C (73°F to 112°F), The Yogourmet Multi yogurt maker meets this requirement with a heating system specially designed to heat in this pattern. " This company Yogourmet is a big manufacturer of dairy starter cultures in the world market and makes yogurt makers as well. It would be nice to have the data on the optimum culture conditions for the various probiotic species. Guess I will stick with my kefir grains for now. : -) Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Bruce: I do have a Yogourmet machine, and it works fine. Salton make a yoghurt machine also and it's good machine too. I have been making probiotic yoghurt for over 13 weeks. I have used the Yogourmet starter cultures and they do work fine. The problem is that the starter costs about $3-$4 per box and yields only 6 quarts. A bottle of 100 acidophilus/bifidus capsules costing $7 could yield at least 30 quarts possibly even 50-60 quarts! Also with the combination of the three Jarrow products I suggested you get over 12 different strains of acidophilus, bifidus, caseii, as well as the Sacchromyces Boulardii product etc.. With the yogourmet packets you only get 5 strains of acidophilus. The purpose of my article is to yield the most value for the least money spent. Also if you get " stuck " with an inferior product like Threelac, where the quality and potency of the " live cultures " is already unreliable, brewing your own cultures and bringing them up to beyond full strength is at least one way that one can recoup the lost money invested in Threelac. 1-3 Packets of Threelac will easily make a quart of yoghurt, kefir, lasi, teeming with live cultures which will be more than adequate to repopulate your intestines with friendly flora. One cup of that yoghurt, lasi, or kefir, will be all you need. That quart will last at least four days. You do the math. As long as you set aside a cup of starter to make the next batch you can keep going indefinitely.... Go see my message 33096 " Tony's Candida Resource List - Updated " or an earlier message " Tony's Mega Super Probiotic 12-24-48 Hour Yogurt Recipe " . Therein you will find full details how to manufacture your own super delicious yoghurt.....
